The Wholly Family

Director: Terry Gilliam

Year: 1977

Terry Gilliam’s first feature as a solo director, here gloriously restored, is a riotous tale of monsters, true love and medieval manners. Sometimes seen as a companion to 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail', 'Jabberwocky' is pure, undiluted Gilliam. The most Python touch is the presence of Michael Palin – playing put-upon medieval peasant Dennis Cooper, who is forced to seek his fortune in a land of mud, gore and historically authentic junk food, whilst he is menaced by the hideous dragon ‘Jabberwock’. Riotously funny, the film is also a fascinating signpost to its director’s future – Dennis a definitive Gilliam hero, the little man terrorised by bureaucracy. For Gilliam, the road to 'Brazil' well and truly began here.<br /> The restoration of the film, overseen by Terry Gilliam gives the chance to delight anew in the rich colours of Medieval life. Particularly the mud.
